KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM/FM) — Western Michigan University will confer over 2,600 degrees during spring commencement ceremonies on its Kalamazoo campus Saturday.
It’s the last time President John Dunn will hand out diplomas before his summer retirement.
“I’ve had the pleasure, and privilage really, of awarding some 50,000 degrees,” Dunn said.
It will be a star-studded event. Gov. Rick Snyder will speak at 9 a.m. Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities President and WMU alumnus Antonio Flores will accept an honorary doctorate at 7:30 p.m.
However, Dunn says they’re not the real headliners at Miller Auditorium.
“There’s nothing that will top the 2,600 students,” Dunn said. “To honor them for meeting the standards of a great university.”
